The promises of independence made at Cairo, and confirmed at Yalta, have not been fulfilled; The division of Korea at the 38th parallel has become an almost impenetrable barrier between the US and Soviet Zones. The Moscow Decision, which provides for the unifioation and eventual independence of Korea, has not been implemented, largely because of disagreement between the US and USSR over the interpreta­ t.i on of the document and the meaning of democracy. All efforts to reconvene the Joint Commission ~lnce its adjournment last May have failed. In the current deadlock, both the US and. USSR are attempting to strengt.hen the political and. economic organization of their ow'n. zones. The USSR has made more rapid progress toward regimentation in North Korea tb8.n the US has m:W..e toward democracy in its zone. An in­ terim US policy for South Korea was not itnplemented until·after the adjournment of the Joint 'CoITlllission disclosed the fundamental dis­ agreement over interpretation of the Moscow Decision. The sovietiza­ tion of North Korea, on the other hand, began inmediately after .the occupation, and has proceeded without interruption since then. Soviet policy in Korea is directed toward the establishment of a friendly state which will never serve as a base of attack upon the USSR. In order to attain this objective at a minimum cost to its· own scanty resources in the Far F.a.st, the U~~tia.s attempted to rrake Nor-th Korea economically self-sufficient though ~ .oli t ically subord i­ nate. Soviets have given their zone a semblance .-0( autonomy by en­ trusting the administration to a hierarchy of "people's committees" dominated by the -Korean Communists. The economy of Nor~h Korea has also been reconstructed on the principle of state control. Bank i ng, . :· ! heavy industry and corrantinications have all been nationalized. The land has ·been redistributed, and pr-ivate enterpri se survi ves chi efly '· in agri culture and handicrafts. Membership is compulsory in a monop­ oli stic sys tem of unions under strict political s upervision. DECLASSIFIED Authority NND 947003 ~CREI Although a socialistic program is favored by the large najor­ ity of Koreans, the Soviet program does not appear to have won the sup­ port of the people. In South Korea the choice between opponents and supporters of the USSR has been resolved in favor of the former in every election. · rn the Soviet Zone indications of popular apathy and discontent have appeared despite the prevalence of censorship. The present administration of North Korea has nevertheless won an over­ whelming victory in the recent elections, which the Soviet authorities regard as a popular mandate to carry on their current policies. In contrast to the Soviet discipline of North Korea, South Korea is in a state of unrest. The food shortage is the chief cause of unrest, but the well organized Comm.mist opponents of the US occu­ pation are endeavoring to give political direction to the current dis­ orders, which Soviet propaganda represents as a protest against the interim US policy in Korea. This policy endeavors to enlist the co­ operation of moderates in forming a coalition of parties and in estab­ lishing a provisional legislature in the US Zone. The majority is prepared to support the US interim program, which is now well advanced. The more radical wing of the Communist Party, with the support of So­ viet propaganda, has therefore resorted to a campaign of terrorism against the occupation. A Korean arJTlY is being trained in the Soviet Zone, and may be expected to intervene, probably by mass infiltration, in case US forces should lose control of the situation in South Korea. The imrr~diate Soviet objective of establishing a firm Com­ munist regime in North Korea is, therefore, close to realization. The long-range objective of the USSR is, however, to integrate the entire peninsula in the Soviet system of Far Eastern defenses. Since the US occupation of South Korea is the chief obstacle to this plan, Soviet propa~da and Communist agitation have consistently sought to drive the US out of Korea. At the present time, the USSR has deferred fur­ ther diplomatic action pending the results of direct action by the Communist Party in South Korea. A possibility remains, however, that the USSR will resort to compromise if radical methods fail, because certain long-term advan­ tages are on the side of the US. Since most Koreans fervently oppose domination by the USSR or any other power, a stable democratic govern­ ment in South Korea, which contains two-thirds of the population, would have the advantage over the Soviet-dom.i.JJ~ted regime in North Korea if US and Soviet troops simultaneously withdre~. Therefore, if order can . ~ be maintained in South Korea and progress is·~e toward establishing a provision~! goverrunent, the USSR may decide to make concessions in an effort to .."l·econvene the Joint Commission and carry out the Moscow D~cision before ~he democratic regime in South Korea gains a firm foothold. ~ A more complete study of this situation is enclosed herewith . ...,,.--- - 2 - s.e-€RE 1 .I DECLASSIFIED Authority NND 947003 ENCLOSURE THE SITUATION IN KOREA The· Dominating Influence of Partition The partition of Korea into two zones dominates the political and economic life of the peninsula. The division of Korea at the 38th parallel has turned into a hard and fast boundary which cuts off all intercourse between the northern.and southern halves of.the country, except for the exchange of mail and the transfer of surplus electric power from North to South Korea. Korean Aspirations and US-USSR Policies Unity and independence are the chief aspirations of the Ko­ rean people. Korean nationalism is a deep-rooted movement which sur­ vived forty years of Japanese repression and finally won international recognition at the Cairo Conference in December, 1943. The US, G~eat Britain, and China pledged therrselves at that time to restore the inde­ pendence of Korea. Soviet adherence to this declaration was subse­ quently obtained at Yalta in February, 1945, and the policy was reaf­ firmed at Potsdam in July of that year. The Conference of Foreign Min­ isters at'Moscow~'In December, 1945, agreed to establish a provisional government for all Korea in order to prepare the Korean people for in­ dependence and democracy. Since the occupation had divided the penin­ sula into separate zones, the Moscow Decision also provided for a Joint ·commission of the US and USSR to organize the provisional goverilment and consult with·it in working out a broad program of democratic re­ forms for a united Korea. This program in turn was to be submitted to the governments of the US, USSR, UK and China as the basis for a four­ power trusteeship which would last "for a period of up to five years 11 • All efforts to carry out the Moscow Decision have failed principally because of the conflict over trusteeship, and Korea remains bisected at the 38th parallel. Since the adjournment of the Joint Commission in May of this year·, the USSR has persistently refused to"t"et~n its delegation to Seoul, except on terrn.5 unacceptable to the US. - ~he Soviet Cormander . in North Korea has ma.de it clear that the USSR would not retreat from its contention that the opponents of trusteeship must be excluded from the provisional gove~nment of Korea. General Hodge is equally insis­ tent on the Koreans' r1ght of free speech and on a broad interpretation of the trusteeship clause of the Moscow Decision. There is consequently little prospect of reconvening the Joint Commission in the near future. - 3 - . .. •' . !>•. ••• • ·I . .. .. •. ~.. :·· ' :~ .· ··-----L ~f!CR~ Pending the unification of the peninsula, the US and the USSR .re both attempting to strengthen the political and economic organiza­ ion of their respective zones. The USSR began the sovietization of ts zone immediately upon occupation, whereas, Wltil the adjournment of he Joint Convnission, US pqlicy was based on the assumption tha.t the oscow Decision would soon be fulfilled.

I PREFACE Ma]or Economic Changes in 1948 is the third of a series of reports dealing with world economic conditions, prepared by the Department of Economic Affairs of the United Nations. The first, Economic Report: Salient Features of the World Economic Situation 1945-47, was issued in January 1948; a supple- ment to that report, Selected World Economic Indices, was issued in July 1948. The purpose of the present publication is to make generally available a preliminary review of important economic developments which occurred during 1948. It is being issued at this time in order to provide the Economic and Social Council with a useful factual background for discussion of the current world economic situation at its eighth session in February 1949. A comprehensive economic survey of the world situation will be issued towards the middle of 1949. That survey will take account both of the regional economic reports which will become available during the early months of 1949 from the secre- tariats of the regional economic commissions of the United Nations in Europe, Latin America and the Far East, and of the economic activities of the specialized agencies. Part I of Major Economic Changes in 1948 provides a broad picture of the main economic develop- ments during the year 1948, based on data, necessarily incomplete for the year, which were available at the time the report was prepared.

  • 1947 UK River Floods
    1947 U.K. River Floods: 60-Year Retrospective RMS Special Report I NTRODUCTION In the second half of March 1947, the most catastrophic river floods for at least 200 years occurred in the United Kingdom. The flooding, which inundated nearly all the main rivers in the South, Midlands, and the Northeast of England, was notable for its origins, regional extent, and duration. Impacting thirty out of forty English counties over a two week period, around 700,000 acres of land were underwater. Tens of thousands of people were temporarily displaced from their homes, and thousands of acres of crops were lost. The flooding was triggered by the rapid thaw of deep snow that covered much of the country after one of the coldest and snowiest winters on record. The thaw was triggered by the arrival of a succession of southwesterly depressions, each bringing significant additional rainfall. During this period, flooding was not only widespread in the U.K., but also extended across Europe. In Spain, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic, rivers across the continent burst their banks as meltwater and heavy rainfall combined. As the event occurred before the era of flood insurance, and in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War to a backdrop of rationing and significant post-war deprivation, the overall economic impact of the catastrophe was not fully assessed at the time as impacts were considered local rather than national. Sixty years after the event, this retrospective reviews the events of March 1947 and assesses the economic and insurance costs that would be associated with a repeat of the same event in 2007.

  • Key Officials September 1947–June 2017
    Department of Defense Key Officials September 1947–June 2017 Historical Office Office of the Secretary of Defense Introductory Note This compilation, prepared by the Historical Office of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), presents information about the Department of Defense (DoD) organization and its key officials since its establishment in 1947. The scope of the work is a Department-wide listing of senior officials, but it does not purport to be comprehensive. “Key Officials” is not official terminology, nor is this a top-down listing of officials in order of precedence or reporting authority. It lists both Presidentially-Appointed, Senate-confirmed (PAS) as well as non-PAS officials. It includes civilian officials in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the military departments as well as the top leadership of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the Combatant Commands, and certain DoD field activities and Defense agencies. This compilation includes titles of some official positions that have been superseded by new titles or organizational changes. The text indicates all instances where this has occurred. Where an official position has a direct lineal predecessor with a similar scope of functions, the prior position is either included with the current position or the text indicates where the prior position can be found elsewhere in the publication. In most entries, the effective date of incumbency is either the swearing-in date or initial appointment date. Officials assume office after being appointed to the positions, usually followed by a ceremonial swearing-in days or weeks later. Dates of DoD directives establishing the responsibilities of positions and prescribing functions may appear months and sometimes years later.
